Yeup it finally happened , Ive been out of the picture for awhile been working hard , and had my Foxbody at MAK Performance getting a ton of work done. My buddy Willie Diaz did the entire bottom of the car , new suspension , brakes , wheels and tires, Welded the body seems and upper and lower torque boxes. He also undercoated the entire bottom . We removed all the fuel injection went to a carb , new Magnafuel Quickstar 300 pump with regulators . New Proflow Nitrous single stage plate with burst panels . The car came out beautiful.

Showed the car to another good friend of mine who taught me alot thru the years , and built alot of my previous cars . He came over to the house loved the foxbody and then asked me if I would sell the 07 .
So after 10 minutes of thinking about it I said ok sure but you need to buy all the rest of the things I have for my rebuild which He did . This car when finished is going to be crazy fast . But thats another story down the line.

So after selling the 07 I went and bought a 2012 EcoBoost F150 SuperCrew FX2. It didnt stay stock for long maybe 10 hrs , we did a custom 4" SS Exhaust , and MAK made a custom Y-Pipe which we installed today basically Ive had the truck 2 weeks . Sounds awesome you can hear the turbo's whistle at start up and as you get in the gas .
Superchips has a nice tune up in it , but as soon as Diablo gives me the go we will be taking the truck to them and re-tuning the truck .

As far as the foxbody goes , will be building a bad azz small block with Steve from Progressive 374ci stroker 12.5.1 on E85 with a 250 SHOT. Hopefully she should run in the mid 8s.

Here are some pics :

Damn, I haven't seen the that FX appearance package in white yet. That is a great looking truck. Love the sound of startup.

Looking good Pete! Wondering what you've been up to lol

Yea I was out of the picture for a few months , been working on the foxbody build with my buddy Willie . Trying to decide what we wanted to do with it. We have a 2012 CS Mustang that belongs to a buddy of mine who wanted me to hook it up like my white 07 . We are waiting for the TT Kit to get here from Hellion , already did all the suspension like my Old 07, and also has a Circle D converter with the stock tranny . Fuel system should be here soon from Fore .
That car should run low 10s when done on the stock motor . I was going to go with a turbo on the fox but decided to keep it simple Old School with Nitrous .
Will be looking at a few more upgrades on the EcoBoost as well as maybe new turbo's . :evillaugh:

Just got back from the track , went to PBIR which is a 1/4 mile track . Drove 110 miles one way , went thru tech and pulled up to the line no cool down . 1st with the new y-pipe , truck went 14.19 @ 97.71. I let it cool down for 40 minutes and tried to boost a little more off the line , went a 14.11 @ 97.86. Truck went 9.0s in the 1/8th at 77.xx which was a solid 2 mph faster with the new y-pipe . So yes the y-pipe works great .
